Description
Fencing master from Antwerp who studied first under Lambert van Someron, then
the Spanish Destreza at Sanlúcar de Barrameda (1605), won a masters'
competition at Rotterdam about 1611 and taught in the Netherlands. His
posthumous Academie de l'Espée (1628) is one of the most elaborate fencing
books, joining Destreza-like geometry with occult and Pythagorean symbolism.
